Huawei Launches First All-Chinese Desktop with Kirin X90 Chip and HarmonyOS

Key Facts

Huawei unveiled the Qingyun HM650 desktop computer, which is 100% domestically manufactured and runs on the HarmonyOS operating system. South China Morning Post reported that the new machine utilizes the Kirin X90 processor instead of Intel or Qualcomm chips and does not use Microsoft's Windows. According to company statements cited by ZeroHedge, Huawei accelerated its shift toward a domestic supply chain following the revocation of US export licenses in 2024 and the upcoming expiration of Windows licenses in 2025.

INTC closed at $58.27 and QCOM closed at $173.19 on November 4, 2026, while MSFT was trading at $542.41 on November 5, 2026. This transition poses a significant threat to the Chinese market share of US firms, as China accounted for 27% of Intel's total sales in 2023. In the broader tech sector, AAPL was trading at $345.3 and META was trading at $607.66 on November 5, 2026.

The market is awaiting China's Balance of Trade data along with annual Export and Import figures scheduled for release on November 10, 2026. These indicators will provide further insight into the performance of the foreign trade sector as domestic technology localization efforts by firms like Huawei intensify.
